@Chris - Granted this isn't my site, but is it really necessary to issue so many rebuttals to people who happen to disagree with your take on a particular film? Movies are an art form and are, as such, inherently subjective. I have not seen "Prometheus" yet (and at this point, I suppose I'll just wait for the longer cut that's reportedly included on the blu-ray), so I don't say this with a bias for or against the film - but for film in general. If someone sees this and considers it ahead of its time and likens its reception to how "2001" was perceived upon its release, then more power to them. I may see this and think it's utter garbage, but I'm thrilled that it pleased someone else to that degree. That's what movies are for. One person's trash is another's "Citizen Kane" (a film many people I know can't stand despite its stature, by the way). Again, it's your site and I'm not saying all of this to be intentionally argumentative, but it does seem to me that you create more of a combative atmosphere in these talk-backs than is really necessary. As a prior poster said more succinctly, to each their own.

Prometheus is my favorite film of the year so far. Sure, it doesn't answer every question it asks, but that's not the point. It's significantly more interesting to have discussions after the film about what the answers could be. Who knows? There is a possibility of two more sequels, which I really want to see. The film has got to be one of the most intense viewing experiences I've had in a loooong time. Really, I think it outdoes all the Alien films. It's an incredibly ambitious film, but, apparently, people just want their damn answers fed to them.

Interesting, because my point of view is just about the same: I like not being answered everything, to discover things by myself, which will inevitably vary from one person to the next. That also is a thrill, to know what your friends picked up something you may have overlooked or didn't see the same way. Challenging an audience is hard these days, but it's such a reward when you come out of the theater and discuss it. I have to say, it IS different than all the Alien films, and thank God for that. Mr. Scott shows his more mature sensibilities in this one than he did in the first film, and yet, many people still can't get around that at least, they tried their very best to give us more than your daily dose of Transformers/AVP gore-fest battle...

There's a big difference between leaving things to the audience's imagination and intentionally leaving plot points open for a sequel, and while it's good that Prometheus doesn't spoon feed everything it's also shamelessly guilty of the latter.

It's strange, because throughout the whole movie, I was just amazed at how visually impressive it was - the sets, special effects, lighting etc was all incredible and really helped set a fantastic and sinister atmosphere.

It wasn't until the movie actually ended that I was like "What the..?!" It felt like my brain had just been raped. However I then started to read other peoples theories about the film, about what it was all really about (and there are some very interesting essays that people have written using the film as the basis) and I am convinced that there is a very cleverly seeded story in there somewhere - it's just all about how you interpret the movie - and that, on some level, I think is genius.

For the record: I think Prometheus is a masterpiece, so this is definitely a clear case of "love it or hate it".

The revised artworks look incredible. Glad they changed it, the previous artworks were bland and poorly done. With a movie like this, full of interesting visuals, it was only right to use that as an advantage.

It might also be of interest to some to know that Prometheus is Fox's first UltraViolet Digital Copy title, and the first in their "Digital HD" promotion which will offer downloadable UltraViolet copies for sale a full three weeks ahead of their release on Blu-ray/DVD or for video on-demand rental.

whats with them going out of their way to say its the theatrical edition? i've seen that in all the websites listing this in the last 2 days. is there a longer cut coming soon or something? and i see its another case of "you want the extras...then buy the 3D edition". i had a feeling this would become a trend.

anyway never saw this so i'll probably rent it off the PSN and then see if i wanna own it or not. lol

My worst movie of the year so far. I didn't want a prequel to Alien at all. I just wanted a good sci fi movie, but my gosh, the characters were so unlikable and the plot was just stupid. At least it looked pretty. See "Looper" if you want a great, smart sci fi flick from this year or just watch the original "Alien".

It's funny how attitudes change. With regard to commenting on people's opinions. More and more I'm seeing it across a whole range of internet forums. It now seems to be unacceptable to challenge people when they spout guff or are just wrong about a subject. They argue 'What IS wrong or right? What is true or what is fact and who are you to say I'm wrong about such and such?' These people would, I think, like to see argument, in it's pure form (ie, not being abusive and shouty) a thing of the past. That their opinion is just as valid as multi-sourced, verifiable established fact and anyone 'calling' them on it is infringing their basic human need to apparently talk out of their arses.

We can all, from time to time, be ill informed on a subject and talk nonsense (guilty) but I would expect to be told I'm talking rubbish, if indeed I am.

Yes, 2001 was treated rather coldly on it's release, but to draw parallels with Prometheus is wrong headed. The only aspect common to both is that they had mixed reviews. End of.

Some films (and I stress SOME) do age better with time. You forget how the film was received on it's release and view the film without any negative taint. Also, younger audiences, who weren't around at the time of release, generally, will only ever see the film in question on it's own merits. There may (by way of example) be kids in their teens who have enjoyed films like Battlefield Earth, The Avengers and Wild Wild West without the 'benefit' of knowing how much they stank up the box office back in the day.

I'm not saying Prometheus is of the same calibre as those films, it's reasonably above them, but 2001, it ain't or will be. If Prometheus came away with mixed reviews it's because of script problems and unexplained inconsistent character motivations. Not because, like 2001, it was deliberately constructed to be ambiguous from the get go.

Prometheus was underdeveloped (in parts), not thought through (again in parts) and threw in some unnecessary guff for Alien fans to chew on. My own theory is that these things were thrown in more for fans of AvP though. I'm sure appreciators of Alien could have stood for some ambiguity as far as the ending of Prometheus goes without the point being so obviously laboured as it turned out to be.

I like the revised artwork and I really liked the movie. I saw some problems with it when I saw it in theatres but I was still thinking about the movie well after it ended which is something I can't say for lots of movies nowadays.

And what is it with 'jerseys?' anyway. NFL or otherwise? They go on about them as if they're the second coming. And why would you spend money to walk around as a human billboard, advertising & promoting multi-million dollar organisations. They should pay the wearer to walk around in their guff.

Btw, in regards to your more decipherable comment: I'd really like to know what you consider to be a 10/10 film. I'm pretty sure my 10/10 films won't match yours as we all have a different opinions and taste.

Cameron? - ok, let's be honest, the Cameron that made 'Aliens' and even 'True Lies' IS NOT the same Cameron that made 2 of the most boring and overrated POS in the 15yrs. The Cameron of old is gone, long gone and he has no interest in the type of films that made him who is was.

You're quite right. My comment on the jerseys now lacks context as I was commenting on one of those ridiculous spam posts for cheap NFL jerseys that crop up on here every few days. The original spam post was removed, leaving only my response which then made little sense.

This film made no sense at all. It was pretty much okay till that ridiculous self-operation, but it all went downhill from then on, rapidly. Didn't like the fact that the Space Jockey was supposed to be a suit with Eric Menyuk inside. Why cast Guy Pearce only to hide him under that absurd old guy make-up all the time? And so on and so on. Nothing but a huge disappointment, and one of the most pointless uses of 3D in cinema so far.

1st October 2012 13:55#56

Regarding why Pearce was only apparently in the old age make up and not seen younger (except for the TED viral video) that was because his younger scenes were either deleted or unfilmed. Even Peace has conceded, given the resulting film, that they probably should have cast an older actor for the part. Just a by-product of the ever changing nature of this film from script through to finished product. The scenes with the you younger Weyland may be in the deleted scenes.

I can't believe some people actually think this is a good movie? Makes me wonder how old these people are? 12? It was two hours of torture seeing this in the cinema with nowhere to escape... The characters were awful, and the decisions they made made no sense at all. They were inconsistent and lacking depth.
